JumpLeap Long-Term Strategic Planning PodcastEp 33 - From Laundry-list, Wishlist or Checklist to a Game-Changing StrategyPicture two teams in your company, six months apart.The first team is drowning. They have 47 “strategic initiatives” on their list, no clear way to prioritize, and every meeting devolves into debates about resources. Morale is terrible, and nobody can articulate what they’re really trying to accomplish.Fast forward six months: the same team, but now they’re energized, focused, and can explain their strategy in three minutes. Projects that don’t serve their core hypothesis get killed quickly. They’re making contingency plans because they understand their strategy is a bet, not a certainty.

In fact, there may be few things more cherished than being in the Flow state, getting your best work done. When it’s happening, time flies by and sometimes you feel euphoric.
But too much of a good thing is never good, and if you have ever missed a mid-day meal because you were engrossed in your work you may know that you sometimes need a reminder, or interruption, at just the right moment. They keep you on track, and prevent you from making mistakes.

Time to ResetPerfect Time-Based Productivity To Escape Overwhelm With Francis WadeLet’s face it: it’s getting harder and harder to escape overwhelm now than it was twenty years ago. We have more triggers in our immediate environment than there used to be. We absorb more information in a day than our grandparents saw in a month, and nobody is trained to deal with the sheer volume of information on the internet. Data is like oxygen. And according to Francis Wade, author of Perfect Time-Based Productivity, psychologists haven’t caught up with the changes that we’re undergoing on a daily basis. They’re moving far too slow to keep up.
